The Corporate Security Market is Challenging and Rewarding

The corporate security sector is diverse and involves many levels of job functions, each requiring different specialty residency experience, knowledge, and education. Executive protection in the corporate security marketplace demands the highest levels of professionalism and education. Over the years, corporate security has expanded to include everything from trade secrets to financial information, employee access or the securing of locations and information technology (secure transmission of data).

Those charged with protecting corporate executives and providing for the security of their assets must understand risk in all of its dimensions. For example, security managers must be aware of corporate laws in the states in which they provide services to reduce the corporation’s vulnerability to liability and financial risk. In fact, corporate reputation is more vulnerable than physical risk in many cases, which means that security officers must know how to mitigate consequences of certain actions and resolve conflict quickly and discreetly.

At the highest levels, executive corporate security officers (CSO) must understand the full spectrum of strategic risks to the company, including financial, physical and reputation risk. At the patrol and supervisory level, corporate security ranges from routine patrols by uniformed unarmed or armed security, to more advanced surveillance and detection strategies. At all levels, corporate security professionals must possess a variety of skills and specialty training to effectively and efficiently detect and deter those that threaten company employees and facilities.
